Title: Time Out, a Reality on the Norm teaser trailer
Post by: MrColossal on Tue 18/02/2003 10:58:46
Hey! Remember me?

Yea I've been making this little AGS game for going on 2 years now and I finally got around to making the introduction for you all to watch.

I hope you enjoy it, I have mills to thank like 12303 times because he rocks the house. I needed music and he made it in like 2 days.

So let's get on with the show:

Click to Download (http://sylpher.com/kafka/images/games/ronTOintro.zip)

now it's fixed, you can watch the intro as many times as you like

Love,
eric

p.s. and i didn't know where to post it so i just followed mills' advice and put it here

I just wanted to say, that this intro, by itself (without music), was amazing. Eric did an absolutely brilliant job. And the animation is tops on my list. Play it or be doomed.

It is a shame that Eric, after all these years of AGS, posts in the wrong forum. tsk tsk tsk...

EDIT - That was a funnier joke when it was in the Announcement forum.

Holy crow.

That was amazing!  Very DOTT-ish.  Well worth the wait.

Now get cracking on the rest of the game, dude!

I slept for about an hour or so...that how it's been going for me when I'm on this wacky medication...But now I've sobered up a bit and am ready to fully apreciate the goodness of this game...Woop!
------------Edit-----------------------
Jesus Christ....That was the coolest damned thing I've seen in an ags game ever. Your animation is the shit, and the whole damn thing rocks...And Mills's music fit perfectly, so kudos to both of you talented bastards...

This was just unbelievable....

Don't give him some bad ideas ;)
Fantastic work Eric! Very good animations (the cinematic style reminded me on Full Throttle) and funny plot... another game that goes on my "i can't wait!" list.
Bravo!

Unrealistically cool, Eric - I especially loved the bit where his glasses glint over, for some reason.
Title: Re:Time Out, a Reality on the Norm teaser trailer
Post by: Snake on Tue 18/02/2003 21:11:44
Yes, Eric, yes, I'd like to hump you aswell.

This intro SLAPS THE CAT'S ASS!

I've found a prob though: If you choose to watch it again, after he says, "...and it's possible because..." (or something or other) it skips the cool animation and goes right to him holding out his remote and stays like that.

Thats goood! Only thing - make the text clickable go aways, and the midi music seemed too soft, I had to turn up my speakers and went deaf when the lightning struck! What was that you said? Dam, my ears..
Title: Re:Time Out, a Reality on the Norm teaser trailer
Post by: MillsJROSS on Wed 19/02/2003 06:41:34
Neole...ags atomatically makes MIDI music a little softer...whenever I play a game I need to bump up my speakers, no matter. It's not that much of an inconvinience. And the reason eric decided not to allow the text to skip is because the music was made to time up against the game.

-MillsJROSS
Title: Re:Time Out, a Reality on the Norm teaser trailer
Post by: Neole on Wed 19/02/2003 07:12:17
You can set the music louder using the 'loudest' setting in the room editor. I had to do that for my game as well.

I can understand about the music timing.. guess there's no easy way out of that. But if I miss a dialog cos of a phone call while the intro is playing, I'll have to sit through it again without being able to skip which gets a little frustating - I had this happen when playing KQ2VGA, and its such a long intro it was too much effort to sit thru for a few lines I missed.

Whenever I play an AGS game, the midi is always cranked and usually I can't turn it down (volume control on keyboard). I didn't hear any SFX  :-\

There's SFX!!?

COOL! That guy looks like rodekill though...and what kind of name is Ohio? is this game supposed to be funny? I can't tell.

Maybe it was the name of the mad scientist's dog.

I forgot to praise this masterpiece of brilliancy. Then again, there isn't anything I could say that hasn't been said, so I'll just shut the hell up.

Yay for Eric.

"COOL! That guy looks like rodekill though..."

yea shawn and i have spoken about this before, great minds think alike is the best we can come up with... well that and the long lost brother/time travel/mind stealing theory, but that's boring.

"and what kind of name is Ohio?"

it's his name. it's also the name of the alien in my alien test game, and in Los Jovenes De La Guerra the main character's name is Cleveland... which is in Ohio...

is there a problem with Ohio?

"is this game supposed to be funny? I can't tell."

the game is funny, you'll have to wait and see

the intro is really the darkest it gets... i think, been a while since i've read the script

Eric, I can't wait to play this game ;) To tell you honestly man, it'll be the first RON game I've played since I Spy 2...it got old after that. The intro totally kicks ass.

I also thought his name being Ohio was funny, so I know I'll like the rest of the humor.

Forever kickassness.

This just occurred to me -- are you going to do up the old RON characters? I mean, Ohio will be walking around, looking all flashy. The other characters will look like blocky lumps of pixels. Okay, you're gonna have to redo the mayor (for reasons gilbot doesnt want me to disclose) but what about the others?

please don't settle with this demo, or just another one-room-game, do a full-length game....that would thrill me :)

aushor you can watch the demo linked on the first page to see what the comments are all about

andail: silly man, of course this game is getting done, you can complete all of the puzzles in part 1, now on to part 2 and 3

woop woop!

i'd show you some more art but i don't want too

That was utterly fantastic. Wildly impressive.

I really can't wait to see what the rest of the game is going to look like. I'm taking a shot at a RotN game but.. Jeez, I am certainly upping my graphical appeal after seeing this. You even stunned my quake III-loving polygon junkie housemate and this guy I know who always moans that everything is substandard (he owns a mac, go figure).
Title: Re:Time Out, a Reality on the Norm teaser trailer
Post by: MrColossal on Mon 28/07/2003 08:40:21
bah! stupid internet

let's try this again

can i get a what what?

so i squishidy squashed all the bugs in act 1, which was a milestone that i have now reached and breached.

act 2 is on the way or maybe act 3 who knows with me!

act  2 is more of an interactive cutscene, which is gonna take some time cause it's gonna be a little like the intro, which is a lot of animation

so just to let you all know, that's what i'm up too and you should expect the game in less then

........

a long time

hooray for release dates!!
